Is there an up-to-date docker image for LDC?

Why I ask: I've been using a dockerized LDC image on TravisCI for building public release binaries. The docker image I've been using, dlanguage/ldc (https://github.com/lindt/docker-ldc), has not been updated recently (currently at LDC 1.9).

The reason for using a docker image on Travis is that Travis still runs Ubuntu 14.04, and I've had trouble with static linking on Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu 16.04 works fine (https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2390).

I can of course create my own docker image supporting the LDC version I need, but I'd prefer to use a standard image if one is available. I'm guessing too that other people might be interested in a docker version as well.

I had the same problem with outdated LDC, but I actually made my own docker image.

https://hub.docker.com/r/ohboi/minildc/

It's based on a slim debian and includes OpenSSL 1.1. CI builds this image daily, meaning that it's always up-to-date.

Thanks! I'll take a look. --Jon

Perhaps you can try "group: travis_latest" [1] and see if that gives you a later version of Ubuntu.

Thanks for tip, I hadn't seen that. I tried switching my build to use it. It upgrades some installed packages, but Ubuntu remains at 14.04.

If you just need a recent Ubuntu image with LDC, maybe https://github.com/wilzbach/dlang-docker helps you.

The image gets build automatically by a cron, so it should always offer all recent tags, e.g.

https://hub.docker.com/r/dlang2/ldc-ubuntu/tags/

Thanks, this looks really helpful.  --Jon

Hmm, that's unfortunate.
